ExpJ2

Exponential Isotropic Hardening J2 Model

The kinematic hardening is not defined in this model.

Theory

The backbone function is defined as

$$\sigma=\sigma_y\left(\left(1+a\right)e^{-b\varepsilon_p}-ae^{-2b\varepsilon_p}\right),$$

where $a$ and $b$ are two constants that control the shape of the backbone. The initial stiffness $\sigma'|_ {\varepsilon_p=0}=\sigma_y(a-1)b$.
